Claiming Stardust Assets
The migration documentation describes the processes needed to claim and migrate output types manually; However, for the average user, this knowledge is not needed and is abstracted in the wallet web application (dashboard). The specific migration knowledge described here is unnecessary for people using a regular wallet.
As detailed in the Stardust Move Models, Stardust assets are represented as Move objects within the ledger. Claiming these assets involves enabling original owners to utilize a Programmable Transaction Block to "unlock" assets such as IOTA, custom Coins, or even Alias and Nft objects.
This process takes advantage of Move's unique features to ensure that assets are transferred and unlocked securely and efficiently to their rightful owners.
Output Types to Move Objects
Stardust assets come in the form of Outputs, and each Output can be of a different type. To understand how Outputs have been transformed into Move Objects based on their types, please refer to the Stardust Move Models page. Below, you will find one or more examples of claiming each Output type.
Examples of Stardust Asset Claim Transactions
Here are some examples of transactions for claiming Stardust assets. Different commands in a PTB are used depending on the claiming scenario, which varies based on the Stardust Output type and composition.
Basic Output
Go to Basic Output.
Nft Output
Go to Nft Output.
Alias Output
Go to Alias Output.
Foundry Output
Go to Foundry Output.
Output Unlockable by an Alias/Nft Address
Go to Output Unlockable by an Alias/Nft Address.
Sponsoring Your Iota Claiming
If some assets are owned by an Iota address that holds no IOTA tokens (needed to pay for gas), the claiming process can benefit from self-sponsorship. This means that an address owning IOTA tokens can be used by the same user to sponsor a transaction claiming Iota assets.
Go to Self-sponsor Iota Claims.
